I am a wife, a mother of 7, an artist, photographer, and business woman. I love to create, and share my creations along with loving my camera, and taking way more photos than I will ever use. 2 of my daughters, now angels living in heaven, touch my life. I love to share about them, and as I create bring them into my style. I have 14 grand children, who touch my life everyday, there are many photos of these little angels of everyday life.

As you can see I frame it because Francesco, my son, wants to hang it in his room! But let's start from the beginning.
First I chose a wondeful patterned paper with cute little rocking horses, absolutely perfect for a boy project. Then I cut it in 9 squares of 3.3/4"each and glue the squares on a 12" white cardboard, leaving a bit of space one from the other.
To pop up the white rocking horses pattern, I frame each square with white gel pen lines.

Prepare your area with a bowl of water and a paper plate or
pallet paper to pour your paint on.

Using a damp sponge, "DAB" the Robin Egg Blue
paint over entire canvas - and don't forget those edges! Allow some of the white of the canvas to show
through - - using the sponge will give your canvas added dimension - with some
areas of the paint darker than others and the white canvas showing through in
spots.

Allow to dry (or pull out your heat gun and help it along!)

Using a sponge dauber, dab the white paint creating
"clouds" over the top 2/3rds of your canvas

After your canvas is dry ...

I downloaded a whale coloring page and printed it. You might be artistic and able to freehand
draw a whale on a piece of white paper.
Either way, loosely cut around your whale drawing and adhere it to the
BACK SIDE of the patterned paper you want to use.

I am using the polka-dotted side of Smokey Chevron. You will see this paper in a lot of my
projects - - I think the silvery color and patterns are an amazing "go
to" - - a snazzy new neutral!

Once your whale is cut out, carefully outline the shape with
a black Sharpie pen.

Adhere your whale shape to the bottom 1/3 of your canvas
(depending on the width of the trim you are using for the "sea")

The circles were made using some gold paper and scraps of the Kiwi cardstock.

Using a black and white markers, you draw lines on the Kiwi cardstock and ink the edges and then glue the Kiwi cardstock onto the gold circle.

The flowers were made from cut out flowers with Dark Vanilla Dew Drops for the centers of the flowers, added some string to different locations on the page and cut out the title using my Silhouette Cameo. The stars were cut using a sizzix die and the backside of some of the Kiwi cardstock.

I
started out by fussy-cutting some of the elephants from the Elephant
Glitter Cardstock, the put them on blue cardstock and cut around them,
leaving a small border.

I cut out the pennants for the banner from the rest of the Elephant Glitter Cardstock and the Boy Star Glitter Cardstock.

I cut out the inside of the pennant from blue cardstock and adhered them to the back pennants.

I
punched out 1 inch circles from the white cardstock, and 1 1/4 inch
circles from the Green Glitter Cardstock. I used one of the round shapes
from the Belgian Chocolate Boy Rub-On for the spacer pennant and used
various Dew Drops with the Dew Dew Glue to hold it in place. I applied
the Alpha Glitter Stickers for the remainder of the Happy Birthday
Banner.

I then adhered the letters to the pennants and adhered the pennants to the ribbon to create the banner.

I
cut a piece of blue cardstock just a bit smaller than the gift bag that
I was planning on using, then cut the Elephant Glitter Cardstock
slightly smaller than that, and layered together before adhering to the
gift bag.

I used the elephants with the borders to create the napkin rings and the cupcake picks.

And here it is...the finished party!
